The home was extremely clean and comfortable and had every amenity that we could have wished for.. Our host was absolutely fantastic and communicated with us on a regular basis before our stay. There was nothing he did not provide for us, including his time and attention. I would highly recommend this property and this host as well. ##### Debra V.

We enjoyed s’mores one evening and relaxed mornings in the main living area. We lucked out on the weather and never spent time in the mid level TV room but it provided a work space for one of our group. Great place near the lovely village of Skaneateles, across from beautiful Skaneateles Lake. It’s not lakefront but we were relatives with lakefront property so it was perfect for us. ##### Susan B. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Zujajah I. Jun 4, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Unclean and Wasps After we had booked the place, we saw a review about the bug infestation and uncleanliness of the property. We reached out to the host, concerned since we were traveling with kids, and he assured us that the place is deep cleaned. Unfortunately, we found that was not the case. We found towels with pus and hair on them, the carpet had crumbs, and four dead hornets in the bedroom. Our first night there, one of the rooms had a big hornet flying around and the house had several wasps. We couldn't sleep in that room for fear of being stung. Our weekend stay there, we were without one room and sleeping in difficult conditions. We notified the host about a possible wasp nest or opening near that room. The host was generally quick to respond, he tried to get a bug exterminator for the wasps but couldn't because it was memorial weekend, and he also allowed us a couple hours late check out, which was nice. However, when we communicated about the uncleanliness and the difficulties we faced and requested a partial refund for the dirtiness and the room we couldn't use, communication was ceased and we didn't hear back. Otherwise, the house is located in a pretty neighborhood in the Finger Lakes area. Baby cot and air mattresses are available. ##### Zujajah I.

We had adequate facilities for our large group. It's conveniently located to town and all the other facilities the Finger Lakes has to offer. It helped that we had beautiful weather but it was a great choice to stay. ##### Kathleen G. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jillian S.

We did provide feedback to the owner regarding some concerns, including the temperature of the house and kitchen appliances not working to their best ability, which i believe will be addressed quickly. Overall, I would return again with my friends! ##### Amy B. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra A.

This house was great for our girls get away weekend! The main floor is all open with a huge island do we could all cook and talk at the same time. The beds seemed new and very comfortable! The 3 bathrooms are newly renovated and were very nice! We used the fire pit in the backyard for a nice way to end the day! It was very easy to get to Skaneateles for shopping and eating out! ##### Kim L. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Naomi May 6, 2024 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication Disliked: Cleanliness This place was literally crawling with ants, bugs and wasps. I reached out to the owner the first morning after killing ants constantly all over the kitchen and was told that's normal for staying in nature. The house hadn't been cleaned properly and had dust, spider webs, dog hair on the bed and trash still in the trashcans that hadn't been cleaned up. There were no paper towels, Kleenex or kitchen towels to even clean anything. Seating at both the dining table and living room wasn't enough for the amount of guests allowed to stay either. Overall, the house was a decent size with good beds and sleeping arrangements for a large group but it felt dirty and unkept. ##### Naomi ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Embassy Suites Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Syracuse.h24110.Hotel-Information) > > [Tru By Hilton Albany Airport, NY](https://www.expedia.ca/Albany-Hotels-Tru-By-Hilton-Albany-Airport.h44808790.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Syracuse Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Syracuse-Airport.h1680344.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Canandaigua, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Rochester-Hotels-Hotel-Canandaigua.h50896866.Hotel-Information) > > [Homewood Suites by Hilton Syracuse - Carrier Circle](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Homewood-Suites-By-Hilton-Syracuse-Carrier-Circle.h11951057.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites Syracuse-Carrier Circle](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Carrier-Circle.h6554.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Grand Island - Niagara Falls by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Grand-Island-Niagara-Falls.h18567279.Hotel-Information) > > [Cicero Grand - Syracuse North](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Comfort-Suites-Cicero-Syracuse-North.h2658702.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Lake George (Queensbury), NY](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1503683.Hotel-Information) > > [Laurel Lake Placid](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Placid-Hotels-Lake-Placid-Summit-Hotel-Resort-And-Suites.h27690.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake George Escape - Campground](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Lake-George-Escape-Campground.h7700122.Hotel-Information) > > [Niagara Crossing Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Niagara-Crossing-Hotel-Spa.h11603917.Hotel-Information) > > [Duck Lake Campground](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Duck-Lake-Campground.h12599916.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinecrest Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Pinecrest-Motel.h1554572.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Concord Syracuse, an Ascend Collection Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/East-Syracuse-Hotels-Hotel-Concord-Syracuse.h7394.Hotel-Information) > > [Tarrytown House Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Plains-Hotels-Tarrytown-House-Estate-On-The-Hudson.h49674.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse North Airport Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-Syracuse-North-Airport-Area.h25930.Hotel-Information) > > [Cresthill Suites Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Cresthill-Suites-Syracuse.h802925.Hotel-Information) > > [Sleep Inn & Suites Syracuse Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Sleep-Inn-Suites-Airport.h15178281.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort and Players Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hogansburg-Hotels-Akwesasne-Mohawk-Casino-Resort.h6009138.Hotel-Information) > > [Extended Stay America Suites White Plains Elmsford](https://www.expedia.ca/White-Plains-Hotels-Extended-Stay-America-Suites-White-Plains-Elmsford.h573804.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Syracuse.h8393.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Syracuse](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Syracuse.h862963.Hotel-Information) > > [41 Lakefront Hotel, Trademark Collection By Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Geneva-Hotels-Ramada-Plaza-By-Wyndham-Geneva-Lakefront-Resort.h60711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn Penn Yan](https://www.expedia.ca/Penn-Yan-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-By-Hilton-Penn-Yan.h15438769.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton Inn & Suites Syracuse/Carrier Circle](https://www.expedia.ca/Syracuse-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-SyracuseCarrier-Circle.h11743361.Hotel-Information) > > [Peek'n Peak Resort Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.ca/Jamestown-Hotels-Peekn-Peak-Resort-Trademark-Collection-By-Wyndham.h5261672.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
